Veldhoven, Netherlands

YEAR
2009
O+A is commissioned by a private client to design an addition to a detached villa. The project
entails the design of a carport for two cars and a conference space. The villa, designed and
built in the 1970s, has an extroverted addition which was completed in the 1990s. In averting
a cacophony of material and form, the villa was taken as a starting point for this latest
addition.
The particular shape of the roof is a result of regulatory zoning law limitations, technical
limitations in constructing a foundation adjacent to the existing home, and demands in terms
of use. The architectural ambition is especially evident beneath this roof, where the functions
‘conferencing’ and ‘parking’ form two intersecting L-shaped volumes.
The climatised conference space is enclosed with minimally detailed, structural glazing. The
carport is not climatised and is enclosed with timber boards, which seamlessly continue into
the ceiling- and wall finishing. The timber boards form, along with the three timber frames, a
sequence of sections which determine the interior. Beneath the roof, a dialogue arises
between material and space.
The project was completed in July 2009. Aside from performing common architectural design
tasks, O+A assumed the roles of chief contractor and glass engineer.
